How to Make Mexican Cranberries

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle powder, 1/8 teaspoon sea salt, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the cranberries burst and the mixture begins to thicken (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.
  4. Serve immediately for a warm, flavorful treat, or chill for a refreshing later snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
